Preview: Battlefield: Bad Company 2
To those keyboard commandos out there who have been in retirement since Battlefield 2 or have boycotted Modern Warefare 2.
It's time to strap on your combat boots, clean off the dust from your defibrillator and jump into EA's latest incarnation of the Battlefield series: Bad Company 2 (at least the Beta anyway).
Chrono-Review: Borderlands
So recently clocking Borderlands what did I think of the game as whole?
Yes I know this is a rather late review in light of the game being released months ago I've just been lazy to actually write up the review.
Welcome to Pandora
I digress, so Borderlands not Gearbox's first foray into the world of PC games with the release of Gears of War for PC being its' debut title.
What does Borderlands promise us? Apparently it promises a compelling storyline, co-operative play and lots of guns all set on a far away planet called Pandora.
EVE Online Dominion Are Go!
That's right the good people at CCP have finally released their latest expansion pack: Dominion for the hit mmo EVE Online.
The new expansion comes with more faction ships to earn, modifications to projectile weapons, improvements to the game's interface, revamp of the in-game mail system and the most talked about change - Sovereignty.
Left 4 Dead 2 Censored Version VS Uncensored
So with the release of the Left 4 Dead 2 demo for those who pre-ordered released what ended up being censored in the Australia version?
You be the judge.
Australian Censored Version
Uncensored Version
They have basicly removed pretty much all traces of gibbing, blood splatter on the screen when you kill a zombie up close, the melee weapons don't get blood on them, they removed a riot police infected, and finally the bodies disappear before they even hit the ground (which if I'm not mistaken did not happen in the original Left 4 Dead).
Also for those interested it is possible for the gamers of South Australia to possibly vote Michael Atkinson out of office to which he issued a challenge several months back.
Left 4 Dead 2 Unedited Version Final Verdict: BANNED
The Classification Review Board (the Review Board), after reviewing Left 4 Dead 2 has come to the conclusion that it could not accomodate Left 4 Dead 2 within the MA 15+ bracket and has classified Left 4 Dead 2 as RC (Refused Classification).
This was due to same issues that arose when the game was originally rejected for classification - the depiction of dismemberment and 'graphic' violence pertained within the game.
Apparently though the modified version that is classified as MA15+ will only be sold in Australia so we won't be getting the unedited and ungimped version.
Check out the media release here for more information about the rejection of the unedited version.
Yay, for outdated classification laws diluting another highly anticipated game.
